Vote Now! Sports Movie Tournament Round 1: Basketball Division

For now. But before we wrap up March Madness (*cough cough* in April *cough*), we are engaging in one last mega tourney; this one to decide the best sports movie of all time. I know, the implications are staggering.

Not this week, but next, we’ll be battling through the Sweet 16 of sports films. Obviously, this category is made all the more difficult by the fact that there are countless cinematic triumphs across all the various sports. How the hell can we even decide which movies from which sports make it into the Sweet 16?!

We won’t…you will!

We’re opening up the field to a full 64 movies, but don’t worry. We’re NOT going to record an eight-hour episode in which we debate each and every one. Instead, we’re going to let you, the readers/listeners work our field of 64 down to 16 with your votes. We’ve created four divisions for the bracket (Basketball Movies, Baseball Movies, Football Movies, Misc Sports Movies). Over the next few days, we’ll be revealing the match-ups for the first rounds of each division. You can then click on each match-up to vote for the winner.

First up, Basketball Movies. The match-ups, according to the rankings, are…

VOTING IS NOW CLOSED, THANKS FOR PARTICIPATING!!!
